February is cold here in MN, but life without challenges is boring.

I didn’t get the food system position i was hoping for, so I’m now looking at how the availability and use of financial products and services impact health. Plus the entry lelel phone banker job providing customer serives and recommending stuff is full time job, with benefits, only three miles from home!

How banks balance their employee and customer ‘s financial well being with shareholders seems worth exploring, it may be a “profitable” way to examine HIA from a slightly different viewpoint of who gains.
I’m looking at how benefits to different stakeholder can be measured, but the policy and advocacy possibilities from a HiAP framework are still fuzzy.

Apps available for a digital financial future seem to have potential for helping both financial and mental health if they can manage income, expenses and future planning.
Take care,RRL

Thanks Ray! I like how that challenge includes “tailored health information” – a powerful way to encourage healthy habits!

I can’t believe it’s already February – hope you’re year is going smoothly!

Best,

Alex

Looking forward to see what apps are available, and being used, at different points of the ever changing food systems environment. I’m starting my search and review with the last Surgeon General Healthy Apps Challenge winners. http://sghealthyapps.challenge.gov/
Happy Healthy Safe and Prosperous New Year to you Alex!
